NOTES:

It is our tradition at Leesville to take competition as a serious level of performance. To do this, we do not talk once we go to unload our instruments at the Apex High School until we go back to the bus. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS,INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE GIVEN IF NEEDED…..This helps us FOCUS…… Inform your rides NOT TO PARK where the buses need to load and unload! Good Luck! Great combination of musicians and music! Do everything you can to Look Good, Sound Good and Make Common Sense! You have been working very hard and I hope the results will show that!!!!
